Optically Deformable Materials: Photoinduced Topographical Feature Development in Blueprinted Azobenzene‐Functionalized Liquid Crystalline Elastomers (Adv. Funct. Mater. 32/2016)

Year: 2016

Type: article

Abstract: The photoinduced topographical deformation of azobenzene-functionalized liquid crystalline elastomers is reported by T.J. White and co-workers on page 5819. The authors report on the use of UV light irradiation to transform originally flat sheets into topographical surfaces. The photoinduced shape transformation and relaxation is shown to strongly depend on the azobenzene concentration as well as the network structure.
